The DP took to his twitter account where he defended President Kenyatta’s decision to retain six Cabinet Secretaries while bringing in three nominees.

He called on Kenyan, particularly Jubilee supporters, to avoid the 2022 political talk and instead focus on supporting President Kenyatta in realising his manifesto.

“Kenyans,more so jubilee should avoid useless political debates about positions including 2022 and focus single-mindedly on delivering our manifesto voted for by the people while allowing the President the space to perform his constitutional duty to assemble the team for us,” the Jubilee deputy leader stated.

The media had reported that Ruto was not pleased with Kenyatta’s choice of nominees hence his decision to skip the press conference held at State House.

Other reports close to the DP indicated that he was only informed of Kenyatta’s announcement a few minutes before it was made public.
